French wine, and the concept of terroir, captured my interest early on. Naturally, curiosity took me to spirits, in particular Cognac. Today I'm proud to be a member of the Cognac Expert team managing B2B projects, working on Cognac Expert Originals, and writing bottle reviews for the English Blog. I love to taste anything and everything - rum/rhum, whisky(ey), Armagnac, etc. - but no other spirit grabs my attention quite like Cognac, and all of its subtleties and nuance. Santé !

Very very fine nose, improves with air as does any old Cognac. I know there is a nice portion of folle blanche in the blend, so could this be because of that? Must be. It does not show the very prominent earthy and rustic notes we can see in some old Fins Bois. Interesting. Vanilla, spices, sweet...
Smells really really good. It's a nose that calls one into the glass, not shouting out to the drinker. Seemingly very mature and complex - not fair to try and pick it apart from just one sitting as I am doing now. Notes: beautiful old antique wood, rancio, Amaro with its orange-y bitter herbal wo...
